Hunter prevails in curling slugfest

Midland Mirror

NORTH SIMCOE – Bill Hunter and Ryan Lefaive went toe to toe in a Midland-Penetanguishene Interclub Curling League game Nov. 23, but it was Hunter who remained standing when the final score was counted.
After trading twos and threes all game, Hunter led 10-9 heading into the final end, but Lefaive had last rock.
Looking at a Hunter stone protected by six rocks in front of the house, Lefaive’s only chance was to tap one of his own rocks up to the button. The hit was a tad off, and the rock slid to the side, giving Hunter (3-0) a steal of one and an 11-9 victory. Lefaive fell to 1-2.
In other games, Scot Lowes (3-0) beat Don Brunelle (1-2), Jim Mitchell (2-1) topped John Dangerfield (1-2), Moe Brunelle (1-2) defeated Richard Leblanc (1-2), and Dave Devillers (2-1) bested Dave Henderson (0-3).
